1. Repudiating or setting something aside · dominant

   In John 12:48 and Luke 10:16, the present participle occurs in clauses about rejecting persons and their declarations or message. In Luke 7:30 and Mark 7:9, the clause concerns setting aside God's plan or commandment; Galatians 3:15 places the action in relation to a covenant, while Mark 6:26 concerns refusing a request. The APB accordingly renders the surrounding clauses with terms such as "rejects," "set aside," and "refuse."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with "reject," "set aside," "nullify," and "refuse" across the verses. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings describe the clauses' presentation rather than fixed English equivalents for each form.
